Procare9 focuses on children, families, older people, communities, education, mentorship, youth development, Football for Hope, borehole projects, and items gathered and donated to people in Ghana. The sections below describe our areas of work. Existing activities and future plans will be distinguished as they are confirmed — we will not present plans as if they are already happening.

Existing activities

Borehole projects for deprived communities, and items gathered and donated to people in Ghana.

Future plans

Will grow with the communities we serve, and will be marked clearly as forthcoming.

05Focus area

Borehole Projects

Clean water is a foundation for health, dignity and daily life. Procare9 undertakes borehole projects for deprived communities — so families can draw safer water close to home, rather than relying on distant or unsafe sources. A borehole is practical care: water that can be shared and trusted.

Purpose

To bring a reliable water source within reach of communities that have gone without.

How you can participate

Help fund a borehole, partner on a water project, or support the communities these wells serve.

06Focus area

Donations to Ghana

Procare9 gathers items and donates them to people in Ghana. This is practical care — goods that can be received, used and shared in daily life.

Purpose

To put useful items into the hands of people who need them.

How you can participate

Give goods, help gather items, or support getting donations to Ghana.

Purpose

To help young people access knowledge, skills and the belief that they can go further.

How you can participate

Mentor a learner, support educational resources, or partner on learning initiatives.

Mentorship

A trusted voice can change a life. Mentorship is one of the ways Procare9 helps people grow — through guidance, encouragement and presence.

Purpose

To connect experience with potential, so no one has to figure out the future alone.

How you can participate

Become a mentor, share your profession, or help us grow mentoring circles.

Youth Development

Young people need more than advice. They need opportunity, belonging and a chance to lead. Youth development sits at the heart of Procare9.

Purpose

To help young people grow in character, skill and hope.

How you can participate

Coach, mentor, sponsor youth programmes, or create pathways for young leaders.

Football for Hope

Football can be more than a game. It can be a reason to dream. Football for Hope uses the pitch as a place of teamwork, confidence, friendship and opportunity — including tournaments such as the FX Rahman 9 Cup 4Tuna De Volta Tournament, organised in Ghana in 2024.

Purpose

To turn play into belonging, discipline and hope for young people and their communities.

How you can participate

Coach, sponsor kits or pitches, partner on youth football, or support the wider programme.
